2021 Tahoe/Escalade Performance Brembo Brake Upgrade

[BTSRT]

I was going to run a custom Willwood setup..however I'm running into fabrication issues. Does anyone know if the 2021 tahoe and escalade have the same F/R brake setup. If so, I will be ordering the performance F/R brembo upgrade. Thank you.

I'd love to have that for my AT4 Yukon. How much does that package run, if you don't mind me asking.

 

[BTSRT]

$2,400 Brembo F/R vs $6,000 6 piston/16inch F/R wilwood. My wheels may clear wilwoods. Rear electronic parking brake may become an isses.

Does anyone have a video or pics of the GM performance kit installed?

yes, they are all built on the same T1 platform, front & rear calipers fit across the board

I figured. What do you get with the upgraded rear? just a piston upgrade? bigger rotors?

It appears the only difference is that there painted red. Please tell me I'm wrong. Lol

brembo kit for the '15-'20s was only fronts.

are we sure '21+ has rear w/ kit? i doubt it for $2000-2800


i bet the rear is just color matched.... as they didnt do that w/ K2xx's

Looks like just the red caliper for the rear and additional charge

Thanks for the link bigmanny - I'll need to repaint the front BBK kit to cover chevy emblem. I'll paint the rears to match.

Everything is branded even the perf exhaust has little chrome bowties

I'm either going to paint the calipers red with black brembo lettering or silver with black brembo lettering. Also, I just ordered monochrome badges and a black escalade badge for the tailgate. Should i paint the calipers red or silver?

Please report back with how much better pedal feel you have and braking power after this upgrade. I'm on the fence. A lot of squeeze for not a lot of juice, as it were... Or maybe it's worth it!

 

[BTSRT]

To be honest, I dont feel much of a difference. Pedal is a tad bit more responsive. No comparisone to my last escalade setup (Willwood 6 piston F/R). If I were you, I would wait until Wilwood produces a kit. I have been somewhat distracted with my service suspension light which has appeared 3 times tonight. I'm hopping GM will have a fix soon.

Yes they have the same set up. I wouldn't waste money for the rear its just a painted caliper. I have a set of brembo brakes for the trucks if you'd like to purchase. (2) Chevrolet Performance and (1) Cadillac Brembo kit

The brake pedal will not feel any different on a 21. The brake pedal is not actually connected to the hydraulics at all.

Any info on braking performance improvements? I’m on the fence.

What's up with that? The brake upgrade throws codes?

Curious to hear if this upgrade comes with Brembo's famous dust package?
